How to restore Gmail data from Google Cloud Storage

In our previous post, we discussed about how you can archive Gmail data to Google Cloud storage.

You could also do the reverse with Google Apps Script.

Here is an example of an Apps Script that you can use to restore your Gmail data from Google Cloud Storage:

function restoreGmail() {
  // Replace BUCKET_NAME with the name of your Cloud Storage bucket
  var bucketName = 'BUCKET_NAME';

  // Replace FOLDER_NAME with the name of the folder where you are storing the backup
  var folderName = 'FOLDER_NAME';

  // Get the Cloud Storage bucket
  var bucket = Storage.Bucket.get(bucketName);

  // Get the folder in the bucket where the backup is stored
  var folder = bucket.getFilesByName(folderName).next();

  // Get the files in the folder
  var files = folder.getFiles();

  // Iterate through the files and restore the messages to Gmail
  while (files.hasNext()) {
    var file = files.next();
    var content = file.getBlob().getDataAsString();
    GmailApp.createMessage(content);
  }
}

To use this script, you will need to do the following:

1. Replace BUCKET_NAME with the name of your Cloud Storage bucket.
2. Replace FOLDER_NAME with the name of the folder where you are storing the backup.

Apps Script is a powerful language and can really help you integrate well with Google products and services.
